Tooltip in React 3D Chart control

10 Jan 202424 minutes to read

The 3D Chart will display details about the points through tooltip, when the mouse is moved over the specific point.

Default tooltip

By default, tooltip is not visible. The tooltip can be enabled by setting the enable in tooltipSettings to true and by injecting the Tooltip3D module into the services.

import { Chart3DComponent, Chart3DSeriesCollectionDirective, Chart3DSeriesDirective, Category3D, Inject, Legend3D, DataLabel3D, Tooltip3D, ColumnSeries3D, Highlight3D } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';

        { country: "Japan", gold: 70, silver: 60, bronze: 50 },
        { country: "Australia", gold: 60, silver: 56, bronze: 40 },

Fixed tooltip

By default, tooltip track the mouse movement, but the tooltip can be set in fixed position by using the location property.

import { Chart3DComponent, Chart3DSeriesCollectionDirective, Chart3DSeriesDirective, Category3D, Inject, Legend3D, DataLabel3D, Tooltip3D, ColumnSeries3D, Highlight3D } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';

    ];
    const tooltip = { location: { x: 120, y: 20 }, enable: true };
    return <Chart3DComponent id='charts' primaryXAxis=

Format the tooltip

By default, tooltip shows information of x and y value in points. In addition to that, more information can be shown in tooltip by using the format property. For example the format ${series.name} : ${point.y} shows series name and point y value.

import { Chart3DComponent, Chart3DSeriesCollectionDirective, Chart3DSeriesDirective, Category3D, Inject, Legend3D, DataLabel3D, Tooltip3D, ColumnSeries3D, Highlight3D } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-charts';

Tooltip template

Any HTML elements can be displayed in the tooltip by using the template property of the tooltip. The ${x} and ${y} can be used as place holders in the HTML element to display the x and y values of the corresponding data point.

Customize the appearance of tooltip

The fill and border properties are used to customize the background color and border of the tooltip respectively. The textStyle property in the tooltip is used to customize the font of the tooltip text.
